Trinest, thanks for your input.
I agree that, despite nBBS being written more cleanly than a lot of other forums software out there -who shall remain unnamed but you know who you are, you who apparently decided to completely ignore object oriented development. Wait, where was I? Long sentence. Ah, yes. nBBS, cleanly written, etc. Well, despite this fact, I now feel, looking back, that some choices that were made, even if they made sense at the time, should be done away with because they are becoming liabilities more than sane building stones. An ideal solution might be to keep all the existing modules but rewrite the skeleton and progressively upgrade the modules. At least, nBBS was written cleanly enough that it is easy to re-shuffle these modules around a different framework. Mia: of course, whatever our final decision, the current version of nBBS will remain 100% operational and we will release maintenance releases if major issues are discovered. And, if we decide to start fresh, we will, of course, release a tool allowing you to upgrade to the new version, should you wish to.
